Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[rob_bridge]

On a positive note I congratulate Drummond on starting this thread. We are already moving on from StevieG. We just need the owners and CEO to catch up

Any love for ex-Doghead Nuno? Ticks the box of Premier League experience, and did well to get Wolves up and to seventh in the Premier League twice. Negatives are the formation that he likes to play and that he'd probably need an entirely new squad to work that formation.

Hell no. Five at the back boring bastard.

Pochettino. No more "he'll do" appointments.

He would never take it in a million years he's ambition is champions league. Similarly for Potter why would he take a high risk job when he's settled at Brighton and likely to be England manager once Southgate messes up at the world cup?

It's this sort of pathetic mindset that sees us appoint shite like Gerrard.

Agreed. If the owners want to fill a 50,000 plus stadium they need to think big.

[Billy Walker]

We need someone who can unite the fanbase; someone with a demonstrable track record of high level experience/success; someone we will be patient with as the club rebuilds; someone who can attract the high calibre of player to get us where we want to be.  For me, that's not a Potter or a Rodgers, we have to go big and bring in a world class manager to move this club forward.

I could give you millions of reasons why he might.

Hope to god it's not Rodgers. He's a busted flush imo, and has the same spiky persona as the current incumbent.

[eamonn]

Rodgers, spiky? Seems that he's held his tongue against the backdrop of not being given funds this summer.

[dave.woodhall]

I've never gone down the "Offer manager X £Y a year and he'll take it" - if it was that simple every club would do it - but if and when Gerrard goes, forget promising and did all right at Brighton/Bournemouth/Burnley and scour the world for the biggest name going. There has never been a more pressing need for a statement of intent.

I'll admit I did think twice before posting this based on your likely reaction! I'm not for one minute advocating him, I just think it's strange that a manager who achieved what he did with Wolves, which was pretty good all things considered, is now managing in Saudi Arabia and never seems to get mentioned when a Premier League job is advertised. They're probably paying him a billion quid a day, mind.

I will give you 4 or 5 reasons he won’t, that within a year he will receive that many better opportunities.

Yep, dour is the word I’d use rather than spiky.

It's not mindset it is realism. When was the last time a non British, champions league manager joined Aston Villa?
All I'm saying is we can throw names around all we like but the top managers will go to teams to further their careers, not to do us a favour in our hour of need. Even if we were to pull something off like Ancelotti to Everton, they'd be off like him when the next big job came along.

If it is a free for all I think we should go for Pep. Let's think big.

[rob_bridge]

Manchini would be very interesting and high profile. And with Italy not going to the WC this might be the time. Pochettino for me though. Rodgers then maybe Potter.

Don’t we need a poll?

Any of those 4 would be a massive improvement on the current Scouse Sherwood

According to the Leicester messageboard, he’s upset more players than any other manager!
